You've refused to take responsibility and you are more than happy to keep blaming the Tories for something that you could have within your gift. Also, the devolution of benefits would be cost neutral because the block grant to the Scottish Government was adjusted upwards to reflect the transfer of responsibility for welfare.

By making some changes, we could alleviate pressure on the NHS and other devolved services, actually leading to money being saved. The conclusion has to be a simple one: Labour is not a party of principle but of political expediency, shunning responsibility in favour of helpful political ambiguity. 

I want to finish my speech by calling for action from this Government. I call on you to stop abdicating responsibility. You are the Government. You are responsible. Take control of the administration of welfare and lift these children out of poverty.
